What engine comes with the Hyundai Santa Fe?
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe comes with a 277-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine. It’s paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and comes standard with front-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is available as an option. This setup delivers smooth performance and quiet operation for a midsize SUV.
What are the interior features of the HYUNDAI Santa Fe?
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe’s cabin takes a sharp, squared-off design approach that complements its rugged new look. Most of the interior sticks to a bold rectangular theme, with only the steering wheel and a few controls breaking the pattern. Storage is clearly a priority—there’s a spacious center console with room for an available dual wireless phone charger, plus a handy pass-through underneath that’s ideal for a bag or backpack. Door bins are generously sized, and the rear seats fold flat to open up extra cargo space when needed. Passengers in the back benefit from their own climate controls, while the third row, though better suited for kids or smaller adults, adds useful seating flexibility.
Dominating the dashboard are two 12.3-inch displays—one functions as the digital instrument cluster, while the other handles infotainment duties. Even with the emphasis on screens, Hyundai has kept physical knobs for climate control and audio volume, making it user-friendly. An available dual wireless charging pad allows two phones to charge simultaneously, and multiple USB-C ports are also on hand for wired connections. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and a unique UV-C sterilization compartment in the glovebox adds a high-tech touch by helping to sanitize small everyday items like phones and wallets.
How does the HYUNDAI Santa Fe Calligraphy Drive?
I have two perspectives to answer this question:
As a fairly tall, family man, with three kid two in booster seats the Santa Fe Calligraphy fits right into our daily routine. The interior space is generous, and the second-row seats easily accommodate the booster setups without crowding the third row. Getting in and out is smooth thanks to a comfortable ride height, and there’s plenty of storage for everything that comes with a family of five.
As a car enthusiast, the turbocharged engine delivers more than enough punch for everyday driving, and it has a premium road feel. It’s not trying to be a performance SUV, but the drive is refined and responsive. The confidence it gives behind the wheel, paired with long-haul comfort and tech, makes it a well-executed SUV from both a practical and enthusiast’s standpoint.
Final thoughts
It stands out as a smart, stylish, and family-focused SUV that doesn’t compromise on comfort or features. From its spacious, versatile interior to its refined driving experience and bold new design, it checks all the right boxes. For families who want premium touches without the luxury price tag, it’s hard to beat what the Santa Fe brings to the table.
